Senior royals sent well-wishes online, but did now not attend Lilibet’s first birthday party. Plus, Kate shows off her kids’ baking abilities as the ultimate day of Jubilee revelry dawns.
Lilibet’s birthday party is the royal proxy war
The Daily Beast mentioned the day past that it was once “highly unlikely” that Queen Elizabeth was planning to “attend a rumored first birthday celebration for her great-grand-daughter Lilibet at Frogmore Cottage on Saturday,” and so it became out.
The Sun reports that the “relaxed” birthday birthday party for Lilibet, held with the aid of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, used to be absent actual royals, with only the Tindall and Phillips kids—the grandchildren of Princess Anne—expected to exhibit up.
Their parents—Zara and Mike Tindall, and Peter and August Philips—are not HRHs, which makes their attendance totally uncontroversial.
The queen, who was once no longer nicely adequate to make most of her very own Jubilee celebrations, did not attend. Laid up at Windsor with mobility problems, she was in her “comfy clothes” looking at the racing on TV, as Zara later advised journalists at the Derby horse race. HM is believed to be gathering her electricity in the hope she can make a balcony appearance Sunday to wrap up the four-day weekend.
William and Kate, meanwhile, made it amply clear they were not attending Lilibet’s first birthday party, and nor had been their children, by the easy expedient of making a high profile public appearance lots of miles away in Cardiff with George and Charlotte Saturday.
Online joy was once visible however, with birthday desires for Lilibet issuing forth from the social media money owed of the Royal Family, Charles and Camilla, and Will and Kate. In private, it is acknowledged that the queen met her namesake for the first time at a non-public assembly with Harry and his family.
The Sun says Harry and Meghan “held an casual backyard party at Frogmore Cottage, on the royal estate, with a birthday cake, balloons, party video games and picnic snacks.”
